Factors considered during a yearlong comparison of the two products included usability, content (Academic Search Complete includes 60 percent more full-text content) and student familiarity with the Ebsco interface.

Please note: The Libraries are not canceling other databases hosted on the ProQuest platform such as ABI/Inform and PsycInfo. Direct any questions to Becky Albitz, electronic resources librarian, at rsa4@psu.edu or (814) 865-9720.
